woman swims in a remote,
milky-blue lagoon. Steam rises from the water and as it clears, a body is
revealed in the ghostly light. The Dead. Miles away, a vast aircraft hangar
rises behind the perimeter fence of the US military base. A sickening thud is
heard as a man's body falls from a high platform. The Forgotton. Many years
before, a schoolgirl went missing. The world has forgotten her. But Erlendur
has not. The Searcher Erlendur Sveinsson is a newly promoted detective with a
battered body, a rogue CIA operative and America's troublesome presence in

only starting out but he is already up to his neck.
Numero Zero is by Umberto Eco and is due
to be published in November 2015. 1945, Lake Como. Mussolini and his mistress
are captured and shot by local partisans. The precise circumstances of Il
Duce's death remain shrouded in controversy. 1992, Milan. Colonna, a depressed
hack writer, is offered a fee he can't refuse to ghost-write a memoir. His
subject: a fledgling newspaper financed by a powerful media magnate. As Colonna
gets to know the team, he learns the paranoid theories of Braggadocio, who is
convinced that Mussolini's corpse was a body-double and part of a wider Fascist
plot. It's the scoop he desperately needs. The evidence? He's working on it.
Colonna is sceptical. But when a body is found, stabbed to death in a back
alley, and the paper is shut down, even he is jolted out of his complacency.
Fuelled by media hoaxes, Mafiosi, love, gossip and murder, Numero Zero reverberates with the clash of forces that have shaped
Italy since World War II.
